EUR/USD off lows after ISM services

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD managed to bounce from lows sub-1.3550 as solid US ADP and trade balance data was offset by disappointing ISM services PMI, tempering the USD rally.

The EUR/USD bounced from a low of 1.3527 after the ISM services came in at 53.9 missing expectations, but the recovery was capped by the 1.3560 zone. At time of writing, the EUR/USD is trading at the 1.3550 area, still 0.3% below its opening price.

Bednarik locates immediate supports at 1.3520, 1.3490 and 1.3450 while resistances are seen at 1.3560, 1.3595 and 1.3625.
